Yogas in the Palm | Indian Palmistry
There has not been much tradition of reading yogas in the palm. In western palmistry there is no mention of yogas in the palm. The Indian Palmists have always been under the great influence of Vedic Astrolgy and mention various things such as signs, planets (including Rahu and Ketu) and yogas. They have tried to include the planets like Neptune, Pluto and Uranus also in the palm even though these extra-Saturnian planets do not find place in regular Vedic Astrology.
To translate or transpose the astrological yogas on the palm is an excercise in futility. Only people oppressed by or obsessed with astrology would indulge in it. Palmistry has its own rich language, grammar, vocabulary and idioms, it has not and need not reamin in the shadow of astrology; so what if a few things are common between them.
There are innumerable yogas mentioned in a few old Hindi books (may be in other regional languages too). A cursory perusal of the formation of these yogas would clearly reveal that the very same meanings could be derived on the strength of one's common sensensical understanding of general palmistry.
The Yogas could be divided into several groups, e.g., yogas for wealth, for different professions, for different diseases, yogas related to Fate line, Life line, Head line, Heart line or Sun line etc. There are many yogas related to marriage, sexual conduct, love and romance etc. Spread out in the pages of this book are many yogas that are useful in Palmistry.
